re ceived and carefully resd. By.the same
mail [ received also copies of >the Dallas

refer. l am certainly annoyed
that nv name should be used as
opposing constitutional prohibition. From
the beginning of the movement in
Mississippi l have been actively identified
with II, aud for several years past have
been the chairman Of the s;ste prohibition
executive committee. | have recently
issued a little book entitled "HauG-BOOk
of Prohibition" especially designed for
circulation in Mississippi, il which my
views are fully set forth.
In q recent address to the friends Of
prohibition IN Mississippi, congratulated
them upon the operation OF our IUcal OPP
ton Isw and urged increased &C iyity
| that ether counties might be redeemed

draw no contrast between statutory and
constitutional prohibition, and uttered
not q word that could be tortured into
such g meauiag. l have always held
that local option was animportGn1 i not
necessary step TO constitutional pronibl-

question is not about Mr. Cleveland, nor
about what seems to be the favOrite

PROFESSOR HADLEY, of Yale College, de-
livered lecture on Railroad Legislation in
the United States" in the course of which,
having brought his subject down to 1885, he
said in that year special commission of the
Senate was appointed to investigate the sub
iect. The chairman of this committee went
to Pool Commissioner Fink and Mr.. Stearn, a
noted anti-railroad lawyer of New York and
practically told these two gentlemen that any
bill they could agree on he would report.
They agreed on one and it was reported and
became the basis of the present Reagan-Cul-
lom bill. This statement concerning the
origin of the present law is new, but it was
made by Prof. Hadley without reservation.

THE COST OF GAS.

United States Consul Schoenhof, of Tun-
stall, England having had his attention called
to the low prices at which gas is furnished to
consumers in the towns of that country has
been investigating the matter and publishes
paper in the last volume of consular reports
which throws some light on the subject Mr..
Schoenhof finds that the total cost of produc-
ing gas in England varies from thirty-f five to
forty-seve cents per 900 feet and that the
selling price TO consumers is from ffty-eight
to seventy-fve cents, leaving gross profit of
from twenty-one to thirtv-eight cents per
1000 The gas is made from coal of quality
that varies but little in price from that used
for the purpose in the United States Labor is
somewhat cheaper, but not sufficiently so to
account for the difference in the price of the
commodity in the two countries. The secret
of the low rates in England is that the com
panies are usually limited by law to 10 per
cent. dividends, though in some instances,
point, the dividends may be increased. Gas
stock, under these lirni tations is in great de-
mand in England, and the companies are, as
a rule, fourishing institutions When the
American public once thoroughly understands
how cheaply manufactured gas can be pro-
duced the present extortionate rates will no

THE president of the Street Railway Com
pany is reported as saying that they twill not
pay a cent" toward the proposed improvement
of Washington street by paving with Medina
stone. This is in keeping with the insolent
attitude of the company for years past. 1t
has always acted as if it owned the streets and
the Council. Perhaps the proposed improve
ment will furnish good opportunity to test the
question. The city attorney says that under
the ordinance of 1884 the company can be
compelled to bear the expense of the
improvement between their tracks. This
much at least should be required of them.
They ought to be required to pay for one or
two feet ON either side of the track, as com
panies in other cities are, but the space
within the tracks is the least that should be
required. The ordinance of 1884 gives the
Council power to compel the company to pay
for the work, or in the event of their refusal,
to remove their tracks. 1t would be God
send to this city to have something or other
occur which would test the question whether
the Street Railway Company the city gov
eminent is the more powerful.

TWO GREAT BILLS
done here.

Now that Buffalo Bill has made his grand
entree in London and London soci ETY., we
must speak of him respectfully. AS we pre-
dicted when he sailed from New York, he and
his wild Western show have caused a sensa-
ton in the British metropolis. 1t was
inevitable that they should. The extremes
of civilization, like the positive and negative
poles in magnetism, always attract. London
represents one end of the string and Buffalo
Bills show another. But as he is now repre-
senting us abroad, we must call him by his
right name, Mr. w. +. Cody. To be strictly
polite we should say the Hon. w. F. Cody,
as he is an ex-member of the Nebras-
ka Legislature. This scout, frontiersman
Indian fighter, Snowman, retired politician
and gentleman farmer. has already made
decided impression in the British metropolis.
Entertaining distinguished party including
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone, at lunch, and being
himself entertained by a member of Parlia-
ment the same day, shows that Mr.. Cody is
not at all embarrassed by his new surround
ings. He is catching on" in true American
style. Mr.. Gladstone's speech at Mr.. Codys

formation Of Indiana, and the probable
sources of natural gas. He does not accept
the porous-rock theory. As oil and gas are
porous he holds that it must exist in large
cavities or systems of assures, furnishing
much greater capacity for storage than the
pores of any rock could. It would follow

longer be submitted to. In regions where
natural gas is used for heating purposes the
use of the product as an aid in the manufact-
ure of the illuminating fluid will result in
lowering the prices of the latter. The inev-
liable decrease in the price of coal will also
have like tendency.

lunch was exceedingly interestng-in fact,
one of the most characteristic and remarkable
speeches he has ever made about America and
American affairs. Among other things. he
said:
1.-The destinies of the States were assunl-
ing such great dimensions, and the prospect
of what was contained in their future became
almost overwhelming thought, but with
progress came responsibilities. and the
stronger and greater they became people
the more it would be incumbent upon them
to set to The world an example to be followed.
Half a century ago some admirable works on
America had been published by he regretted
to say, not an English but French writer.
Since then England had learned but little of
America, which had during that time devel-
oped to an extent almost Incredible that
the America of to-day different from the
America of sixty years ago as the Amer
lea of to-day was from prairie life. America
had not been idle since that time; she had
gone through one of the greatest struggles
known in the history of man, and he believed
that the result of that struggle what the
mass of the people of England wished it to be-
He believed that, if they had to go through
with another similar trial, though that
scarcely possible, the result of the issue would
be the same"
Evidently the grand old rnan was stirred
up. Americans owe vote OF thanks TO But
falo Bill-we beg his pardon, to Hon. w. F.
Cody-for arranging this affair. His wild
Indians and semi barbarous cowboys had pre-
viously given private exhibition for the dis
tinguished party, and the lunch was natural
sequence. This shows that Mr.. Cody is an
artist. He stormed the Englishmen through
their stomachs. Mr.. Gladstone's speech was
the biggest free advertisement ever given to
any show, and Mr. Cody and his wild West
ern crowd are now in the swirl of London.
